I disagree... that would be one of ktm's worst bikes ever. heavy, terrible suspension - forks in particular and a peaky top end motor you have to rev the crap out of ...I rode one on a three day ride ktm ride in early 2000 and at one stage, I conned leisky to give me ride on his little 125 then I wouldn't stop to give it back. when he pinned me down all he would say about the 400 was "we've come along since that model" I don't like them at all, a dr 400 or xr 400 was a much better bike imo. to clarify, it was a bog stock std bike with no real tweaking but then I always thought katos were good out of the box?
